CURRENT MISSION

To get a two-way ticket to Mars ! I cannot just discard our planet.

ABOUT ME

Outgoing, perfectionist(ish), traveler (getting there)/ love being on-the-move, responsible(ish), debate lover, people lover, knowledge sponge, fitness enthusiast(ish), music junkie, foodie, logical (a little too much at times) et cetera.

PHILOSOPHY

Since that's one of the suggested theme - putting up a few quotes that I relate to.

“In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old person's home, feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, are generally promiscuous and ready for high school. You then go to primary school, become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!”

― Woody Allen

--------------------------------------------

“When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want? Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car? Will you find comfort in rereading your financial statement? Of course not. What will matter then will be people. If relationships will matter most then, shouldn't they matter most now?”

― Max Lucado

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet the people of the world and through this experience, enrich my understanding of the various cultures/traditions/languages/religion.

Honestly, to me, the advantage of traveling cheaply is secondary.

Interests

Language, culture, religion, cricket, football, electronic gadgets, photography and most of all, meeting people.
